Why is there a need for Direct Primary Care?
The current healthcare system often feels like a chaotic juggling act, where patients juggle rising costs, rushed appointments, and a sense of being undervalued. Meanwhile, healthcare providers juggle patient loads, administrative burdens, and the constant pressure to deliver quality care in a system that often prioritizes profits over people. It’s time for a healthcare system that values both patients and providers, one that prioritizes quality care over quantity, and one that fosters trust and healing.
